This DRAFT Request for Quote (DRFQ) outlines the United States Air Force's (USAF) and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) imperative to advance its cloud capabilities in alignment with the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Chief Information Officer (CIO) Public Strategy Line of Effort (LoE) 1: Accelerate Cloud Adoption. The USAF seeks a comprehensive Enterprise-Scale Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Reseller and Cloud Software Management Services (CSMS) provider to facilitate the modernization, migration, and management of its cloud ecosystem. The aim is to leverage cloud infrastructure to enhance mission agility, resilience, and cybersecurity posture. This requirement forms the foundation of a Task Order (TO) through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Special Item Number (SIN) 518210C. This initiative will collaborate closely with concurrently competed contracts, specifically: 1. USAF Cloud One Next (C1N) Environment & Common Shared Services (ECSS): Providing a standardized, secure, and resilient environment with shared services for cloud use at various Department of Defense (DoD) Information Impact Levels (IL). 2. USAF Enterprise Application Modernization and Migration (EAMM): Enabling application owners to modernize and migrate applications into the Cloud One environment hosted in GovCloud. Migration into Cloud One (C1), managed by AFLCMC/HNII, is a central tenet of this endeavor, encompassing Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) at various DoD ILs. Notably, exceptions for specific applications will be considered when supported by strong business cases, such as employing Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings not available within C1. The transition to C1 or GovCloud mandates modernization to harness the benefits of Cloud Native Design principles. The chosen contractor shall serve as a dynamic facilitator of CSP services across a spectrum of DoD ILs (2, 4, and 5) and regions, encompassing both commercial and government domains. The Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs) will encompass reserved instances/savings plans (one- and three-year offerings) and the full suite of CSP marketplace capabilities. The contractor's role encompasses seamless support for additional CSPs, impact levels, and regions as stipulated by the government's evolving needs. All questions or concerns regarding any aspect of this draft requirement can be submitted to the Contracting office POCs Capt Jaen Villalvir at jaen.villalvir@us.af.mil; and Capt Michael Monte This is a DRAFT Request for Quote (DRFQ) that will be issued against the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Special Item Number (SIN) 518210C.
